Yesterday I played in a tournament. I went 3-0 with 0 points lost in any game, and KO'd all opponents figures. It was a 400 point "Fantastic Four" event where you had to have a 'good guy' team, and a 'bad guy' team, dice roll off to choose who plays what.
I only played this team in the first round, because i lost team choice in the next two rounds. I played against an X-Men team fronted by Cyclops with the Infinity Gauntlet /Power/Soul Gems. As one might expect, Cyclops might not be the best Gauntlet owner. I chose SI map. Sabretooth kept Magneto in debris and Magneto shot people. Sabretooth did get to hunt down Emma Frost and play with his food a bit.
The Justice League of America
200 The Flash / Green Lantern
80 Green Arrow
75 Batman
44 Gypsy
In the second round I went up against Manhunter Grandmaster with Infinity Gauntlet Power/Soul Gem and three Manhunters. I chose SI map. This game could have gone either way in the beginning, but Manhunter Grandmaster hit barry/Hal onto Phasing, and they ran away for repositioning. Batman pretty much kept Henshaw from ever having Hypersonic, but the biggest thing that went in my favor was that my opponent had gotten the +1 to all stats and decided to roll for the Gauntlet...taking him back to the beginning.
Third round I played these guys again, because I lost team roll. I faced a Hydra team with GF Skull, Madame Hydra, Von Strucker and the surprisingly effective Mentallo. I chose map again....SI.
The prize was Skrull Black Bolt. I gave it to one of the players that didn't have one, as I own him already. I don't think i've ever totally owned a tournament like that in all my years playing HeroClix. No points lost, no points spared. The worst thing about it is, i am in the middle of the bracket on supremacy league and no one will challenge me.
I only posted tags of characters from the original Mirage Studios comic. Back when Baxter Stockman was black and April was his lab assistant. Days when Shredder died almost instantly and the Mousers were much bigger threats than he was. Back when all the Turtles wore red, not just Raph
I still wish Laird had finished Volume 4. He's still apparently hopes to finish it, but it's been a year and a half since release issue #31 on his blog. Maybe some day.
I'm the one who steps from the shadows, all trenchcoat and cigarette and arrogance, ready to deal with the madness. Oh, I've got it all sewn up. I can save you. If it takes the last drop of your blood, I'll drive your demons away. I'll kick them in the bollocks and spit on them when they're down and then I'll be gone back into darkness, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone... who would walk with me?
The game tomorrow at my venue is 600 points golden age, no figure over 100 points, highlander. Seems like if there are going to be a lot of figures running around and it's golden age, Brilliant Tactician is a really good idea. Preferably two of them. Anybody got ideas for a keyword (preferably named) that has two different Brilliant Tacticians under 100 points?

Except once everyone starts pawning off all that copper the price will start to plummet. I actually have some copper I need to take to the scrap yard maybe I should get on that.
HBO, will you ever cease to bring me joy?
Sorry, the idea of pawning off copper for cash can only remind someone of The Wire.

Scientist is the obvious one, but it isn't named...
Hmmm...let me think on that.
